A Terrible Tragedy Recalled.
The city of Havana has recently been the
scene of memorable events. La Lucka, the
enterpri iog Havana paper to which a large
measure of cret'.it is due for the defence of
justice to the Cubans, publishes an account
of tho dramatic incidents which have led to
a vindication of the innocence of the eight
medical students who were officially mur?
dered sixteen years ago. These eight stu?
dents, from sixteen to twenty-one years old,
were, after a mock trial held under mob
pressure, put to death amid frantic applause,
and thirty-oue more were sent to the State
prison for the supposed crime of having pro?
faned the sepulchre of Gonzalo Castanon, an
ill advised journalist who, iu consequence of
a dispute wirb the friends of the revolution?
ists, had met his death iu Key West some
mouths before. The vault showed not a sin?
gle trace of profanation, and a line made
long before in the crystal covering thu Hott?
er offerings was all that could have beer, at?
tributed i had it not been full of moisture at
the date of the event) to a disresptciful
hand. The Spaniards among the students
were set at liberty. One of the students shot
was not even in the cemetery on the date of
the alleged profauatiou. Only Fernando
Capdevila, a noble officer of the army,
charged with the task of defending thoslu
dents, had the courage to utter in the trial
a few brave words, for which he barely e;
caped paying with his life at tho hands of
the mob, ill disposed to countenance uny
but a sanguinary termination. Thousands
of armfd men tilled the streets day and
night, surrounded tho prison, packed tho
corridors of tho General's palace, yelled con
tinaously for the death of the students and
succeeded in bringing the government to
yield to their demands under the cover ( f a
trial by court martial which held sessions at
the point of the bnyouets of t he lawbreakers.
It was the son of ono of the fiercest among
these, a boy of sixteen, who had picked a
rose in the garden of the cemetery, thai was
first selected to be shot, and that, too, with
tho very rifles to tho buying of which hi*
own wealthy farther had largely contrib
tiled. Four of his classmates, who had been
playing with a wheelbarrow, followed imme?
diately after. It is said that the unworthy
tribunal had compromised with (bo mob foi
the death of eight of the prisoners, and that
tho three additional victims required were
chosen by lot. The unfortunate boys
met death courugtously?uot a knee trem?
bled. Some were shot in the head, 3ome in
the heart. The eight corpses wero laid,
without a name, a cross or a stone, under
the earth, four northward four southward.
But justice has her ways, and through the
courage of Fermin Valdes Deminguez, one
of the surviving classmates who was sent to
prison, tho innocence of his friends has
been so fully and strikingly demonstrated
that the affair is to-day the talk of the
island. A subscription to erect a monu?
ment to the students is being quickly raised
by Spaniards and Cubans alike, in Cuba, in
Spain and in New York. Permission was
accorded to Valdes Damingnez to recover, if
possible, the remains of the etudents from
the secluded spot where they were buried,
and after himself working incessantly for
two day.s with his bare arms, aided by a
friend and the negro gravediggers, at last
discovered all that was left on earth of his
dead friends?eight skeletons lying side by
side, the skulle and ribs bent by the mis?
siles of the shooting party. A silk cravat,
some collars buttons and a fow silver buck?
les were all that could be found to identify
the victims of this historic crime.
Letter From Fnuquicr.
(Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.)
Orlean, April 11.?There is a strong and
sweet aroma of burning grass borne on the
south wind and a smoky hazD settles about
the horizon. The industrious husbandman
has invaded the fence corner and hedge row
and soon the cut worm will be sampling the
young corn, The bull frog is blowing the
wind from the pipes of his bazoo in the
swamps in preparation for tho first swamp
rehearsal.
The people of our community enjoyed
hearing a first class sermon, preached by
Elder Jlclnturf, on yesterday, from the
words, "For me to live is Christ, and to die
is gain." He spoke of this world, with all
of its beaulies, its attractions, fascinations
and amusements, and what a pleasure it
was to live in it: and Paul, being a man of
like passions, enjoyed living in ic as much
as we did. He then discussed his subject
from a Christian standpoint, which he did in
a masterly style. "Paul," said he, "did Dot
do as the preachers of the present day, go
from one church to another once a
month, but weut into the regions be?
yond and carried the gospel to the
heathen world." In treating the lat?
ter part of his subject, he drew a thrilling
and touching contrast between the death of
a Christian and the death of the unconvert?
ed?the gain to the one and the eternal loss
to the other. Mr. Mclnturf is a thoroughly
educated man, and witbal a forcible and
pleasant speaker. He told all Christiane,
and "Old School" Baptists especially, that j
their salvation did not depend so much up- j
( n predestination or election as upon their
tbedience to the commands of God.
In a former communication we stated that
the present clerk of the board of school :
trustees was elected by his own vote. We j
ar i glad to correct said statement, as the
gentlemen from whom I received my in-j
loi ujaiiou informed me that upon invesli-!
gation it was a mistake. A large number
of our public schools have closed for this
session, having run for six months. The
principal of the Oilean school, Mr. Wm. B.
Quarle?, came in our midst a stranger, but
by his gentlemanly bearing has made a
great many warm friends, and has proven
himself to be a first cla^s teacher, and v. e
hope he can he prevailed upon to again
take charge of the school for another term.

TO THE HOLDERS
Virginia Consols and 10-40 Bonds
We aro authorized by the council of forci-'u
bondholders to call the attention of holder? of
Virginia consols and 10 40s to the fact that the
English bondholders stc endeavoring, throuph the
instrumentality of the council of i'orcien bond?
holders, to bring about a satisfactory settlement of
tho debt of Virginia.
With this object in viow, the English bond?
holders have, to a large extent, agreed to pool
thoir bonds and have authorized the council of
foreign bondholder to act for them in the nego?
tiations which aro about to ba had between a com?
mission sent out from London and a committee ap?
pointed by tho Legislature of Virginia.
It is most desirable that all holders of Virginia
bonds, both at home anil abioad, should unite in
the effort to effect an early settlement of the
Etile debt. To better accomplish this object, the
council of forcicn bondholders earnestly request
the holden of Virginia bands in America to co?
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount of
bonds held, at a? early a day as possible.
We will be glad to furnish copies of the plan
adopted by tho English bondholders for pooling
thoir bonds at London, and to give any ether in?
formation that may be desired.
